Definitely agreed. The header was amazing, but so was Carrick's pass. You can see how the more obvious pass was out wide to Rafael on the wing, and so many times we've seen a pass of that type just go sailing uselessly out. He weighted it perfectly, and it speaks very well of his vision and technique.

Rio was quoted in the Metro this morning saying it's annoying that players like Carrick don't get the accolades that "more explosive" players do.

Anyone suggesting it was a fluke is showing themselves up as a rabid ABU, and / or someone who knows very little about football.

Carrick has been performing brilliantly through the season, and was playing much better last season than he was given credit for (and for pretty much all of his United career, I think).
